Co-located Workshop with Unconventional Computation 2011
June 6-10, Turku, Finland
UC2011 Main Site: http://www.math.utu.fi/projects/uc2011/

Papers and posters are solicited on the relationships between Physics and
Computation.

KEY DATES
Paper submission deadline: 28 Feb 2011
Paper authors notified: 1 Apr 2011
Final versions due: 18 Apr 2011
Poster submission deadline: 18 Apr 2011
Poster authors notified: 25 Apr 2011
Early registration ends: 2 May 2011

PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in the first instance in electronic form
as a Workshop pre-proceedings. As in previous years, authors will be invited,
following the Workshop, to submit finalised versions of their work for
journal publication.

Submissions should be submitted electronically via EasyChair, in PDF format:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pc2011

Papers should initially be no more than 12 sides in length (excluding
bibliography), and should be formatted for A4 paper.

TOPICS INCLUDE (but are not restricted to)
* analogue computation
* axiomatization of physics: completeness, decidability, reduction
* digital physics
* optical computation
* philosophy of physics and computation
* quantum computation (digital, analogue) and its applications (biology,
mathematics, etc.)
* quantum logics
* quantum randomness
* reaction-diffusion models of computation: including brain dynamics, BZ
computers
* relativity: spacetimes, computation, time travel, speedup
* theory of measurement: axiomatization, complexity
* wormhole computation
